# Production Tracking
Manage Production Tracking on Assembly Orders and Item Journals, specifically design to handle Brewery related Duty rules.
### COMING SOON
### Production Tracking
Under UK Alcohol Duty rules, duty on Small Producer Relief (SPR) beer and other alcoholic drinks must be calculated using the rate that applied when the product was produced, not the rate in effect when it was dispatched.
Production Tracking in Bevica stores the item's production date which is then used when calculating duty amounts.
#### Item Card
On the Item Card, under the Duty tab, there is a Track Production Date field.
When switched on, Bevica will track the production date from inventory created from an [Assembly Order](/documentation/guides/assembly-and-production.md) or Item Journals. The Production Tracked toggle is shown on the Assembly Order Header and the Item Journal Line, enabling visibility at the time of posting the entry.
When duty is transferred on a Production Tracked item, either via a [Sales Shipment](/documentation/guides/sales/working_with_sales_orders-1.md#posted-sales-shipment) or an Item Reclassification Journal, Bevica will use the production date from the Item Ledger Entry to calculate the applicable duty rate.
The Production Date field is shown on Item Ledger Entries, Duty Ledger Entries and HMRC Ledger Entries and can be used as a reference point for which duty rate will be selected on Duty Transfer.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://kb.bevica.com/documentation/guides/duty-compliance-and-tax/production-tracking.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
